Max Landis should do an Avengers movie.

One film that was good, a TV show that can be enjoyed, and two projects that "should" or are "supposed" to be good or awesome. Not the most compelling arguments to present to "haters", especially if you acknowledge the bad-to-mediocrity of American Ultra, Mr. Right, that last Frankenstein film, or Me Him Her.
Max Landis is fine. He's a hell of a pitch man and I have no doubt he works his ass off. But his films are largely still garbage (Chronicle is his only film I've enjoyed, anyway, and that's because I'm a big Akira fan). He seems to subscribe to "quantity over quality," and I'd wish he'd just put a little more time into what he writes instead of cranking out 3 films a year and countless more in spec scripts that are probably optioned, but we don't know about.
Here's hoping Bright is good, though.
Where's the "He has opinions and posts them on Youtube, and if your opinions don't align with Landis', he will respond with dog whistles and sicking his audience onto you" poll option?
oh yeah, that's not a completely biased view of what happened or anything

The birth scene scarred me for life. What the fuck.

How many versions of Blue Moon have been recorded since 1981? He can use all of them.
haha, yeah that article sure is something. pajiba is like gawker-lite.
Actual quote:
Where is the vote option: "He's a cis white privileged male MRA Nazi misogynistic racist transphobic homophobe AND a Gay rainbow haired socialist feminist race traitor BLM cuck"
Honestly the only person I can think of in existence that is routinely perpetrated as the most extreme representation of both sides of the social/political spectrum. And on top of all that shit people hold him responsible for the horrible shit his dad did.
Kind of feel bad for the dude.

This article is terrible, and Lexi Alexander is a fucking narrowminded, predictable asshole on Twitter pretty consistently.

He wouldn't dare.
Is this implying the effects in the original were not legit? If so, what is wrong with you?
If not, then keep preaching. Rick Baker's work on the original is still remarkable, and I would hope they would let Baker come back and show off again. The man is a make up effects god.
No, I mean real effects like the original. Not the Wolfman where CGI got in the way.

Pretty much the only scary thing in the movie.

Phew. Thank god.
At least you recognize Baker da god.
A thread poll that doesn't have a Thor: The Dark World reference in it? Finally!
That said, if I was Landis I would've reconsidered doing this project. Seems like more trouble than it's worth to fix and update. But hey, if he knocks it out of the park it'll make for some nice headlines. I'll see it regardless but I cannot say I'm especially hopeful.

I really really don't understand where the hate comes from. I really liked American Ultra (my sleeper hit of that summer) and I've been enjoying Dirk Gently. Yea his stuff isn't phenomenal, but I'd hardly call him a talentless hack or something.
Yeah, I remember Baker was doing effects for Wolfman only to find out the transformation was gonna be CGI to save money.
I hope we don't go though that here. I think that was one of the many reasons why Werewolf in Paris failed.

Landis is like on a Sean Penn level of dislike. Nobody likes him.

The difference is Penn has talent.

True. Both are obnoxious blowhards but at least Penn can act.

And yet, they're not getting made...
And the ones that did get made sucked, except for one.
An American Werewolf In London is one of my all-time favourite movies. Let's hope this remake will at least be a bit watchable. Also, lots of practical effects please!

Same, my favorite werewolf movie. I don't see the point in remaking this, that said, if it is different enough from the original it still could be an interesting watch.

I like him...
It's absolute bullshit John Landis got off scott-free with what happened in The Twilight Zone. Guy shouldn't have worked again. I like American Werewolf in London - and could see a remake working well - but, I have no sympathy for Max or the Landis family, you reap what you sow.

Is that a recent picture? Did he fix his hair?
Nah, he should make more videos on Wrestling.

Max was not even born when that went down.

To what do you refer?
But he's using his dad's position to get work in the movie business and still spends all his time complaining about it.
If he wasn't John Landis' son he'd just be some loudmouth spouting fan-fiction on a messageboard.

Heh, that's true. Although to be fair to him, I'm sure if he could get original projects greenlit he would do.
Meh; I watched it last year for the first time in decades, and it still holds up really well. I don't really see what a remake would do better; especially from someone with a wonky record.
I'd really like to see Edgar Wright tackle a proper horror film. And I'd like to see Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent) do another - not necessarily werewolves, mind.
I haven't seen it, but it looks a bit hip for my tastes.
He might as well just do a totally different werewolf film and not even use the name.

Sure, but what does that have to do with the accident which is completely unrelated to Max or anything he has ever done? I mean, I don't particularly care for the guy one way or the other, but every damn time he's mentioned this gets brought up.
